Thirst (2013) - Witness

I still thirst for you

In the late night

Even with the sun down

Even in the daylight

I don’t know why I’m running right back

When you say it ain’t love

But it’s something like that (1)

You had me hanging on a dial tone

Miss opportunity was lonely

But she only seems to knock

When I’m not at home

We left off with the let’s pretend

We can just be friends

Caught a second wind

Now we’re playing chess again

I can’t expect to win

When you’re dressing like this

I can’t be held accountable for how it might get

The tension’s quite thick

Looking like I’m in trouble

Hard to be platonic

When I’ve touched every inch of you

So I try to resist the urges

I get when I watch you play

With your bottom lip when you’re nervous

I guess that I just preferred it

When we didn’t have to hold back

But I can tell there’s a part of you that knows that I

I still thirst for you

In the late night

Even with the sun down

Even in the daylight

I don’t know why I’m running right back

When you say it ain’t love

But it’s something like that (2)

It’s not like the conversation doesn’t intrigue me

But there’s not a drop of you I wouldn’t drink deeply

Let me speak easy

Yeah, you like to say a lot

I haven’t seen a fingertip

That tried to leave the tabletop

I can’t front like we never were in love before

I can’t push when we’re pulling in a tug of war

I’m not sure if I’m wondering your ring size

Or I wanna wander through the garden on the inside

But then I think of the breathing

The heat of the moment peaks

And the fever beneath us deepens

And I wonder why we ever try to hold back

But I can tell there’s a part of you that knows that

I still thirst for you

In the late night

Even with the sun down

Even in the daylight

I don’t know why I’m running right back

When you say it ain’t love

But it’s something like that
